And it seems to work fine during boot for me. Perhaps it's some weird curse with the Mac mini? :( I actually prefer the new keyboard to the old one. And it seems to work fine during boot for me.

Running from the FireWire disk does make a sizeable difference for me - I get far less beachballs than I ever did before. As for the Mac Mini being the worst specced of the macs, yes it is but it was the only one I could afford when I bought it. @ben: Yup, for that usecase I could. That still doesn't stop it being terrible that the keyboard doesn't work until the OS has loaded since it stops me from being able to run the machine in target mode or run diagnostics etc without digging out my old keyboard. Thanks for the heads-up though, previously I'd only been aware of doing that via the commandline. @antonio: Sorry to hear that :/

It looks an ergonomic nightmare and when I used one in an apple store this was confirmed I couldn't imagine using one over long periods of time, I'm happy with good old whitey! As for using a firewire drive as the main OS I'm shocked it made that much of a different the Mini is the worse spec mac you can get (more so if its the intel core solo chip inside) Couldn’t you tell it was worse without touching it?
